A simplified technique for chronic cerebrospinal fluid collection in the awake dog.
A modified design for a guide tube to facilitate collection of cerebrospinal fluid from the lateral ventricle of awake dogs was developed. The modifications allowed for rapid, inexpensive and secure implantation. The tested guide tubes remained in place and patent for 20 weeks.
